Louisianans, Why Vote Saturday, December 7th? Need a reason to vote? Consider protecting the very slight majority that should now allow Trent Lott (R-MS) to lead the Senate (currently 51 of 100 senators). By contrast, in these last two years under Tom Daschle (D-SD) the Senate has obstructed the progress we have elected our officials to make. Along with the Homeland Security Act of 2002 and the Economic Security and Worker Assistance Act of 2001, which languished for many months and were brought to a vote only after the public declared its will in the November 5th general elections, the examples below are critical bills which have been held up by the Daschle Senate. Most of these proposals passed the House with broad, bipartisan support and the President has been waiting month after month, to put them to use for us. The election of Suzanne Terrell would help to assure that new Senate leadership brings our important legislation to a vote. Please consider this and please pass this notice along to your friends and neighbors. If you do, it will get to many voters who would like to see the facts. And that could make a life and death difference. HOMELAND SECURITY: H.R. 4598 - HOMELAND SECURITY INFORMATION SHARING ACT (establishes the methods of federal coordination of homeland security, intelligence, and investigation) H.R. 3178 - WATER INFRASTRUCTURE SECURITY ACT (anti-terrorism act directing the EPA to secure the nation’s water supply against contamination by research, development and demonstrable actions) H.R. 3231 - IMMIGRATION REFORM AND ACCOUNTABILITY ACT OF 2002 (also called the Barbara Jordan Immigration Reform and Accountability Act of 2002, allows immigration and naturalization services to be coordinated with homeland security by placing them under the charge of an office of the Attorney General, instead of the INS) H.R. 3209 - ANTI-HOAX TERRORISM (establishes criminal and civil penalties for unfounded threats of biological, chemical, nuclear attack) H.R. 3210 - TERRORISM RISK PROTECTION ACT (to ensure the continued financial capacity of insurers to provide coverage for risks from terrorism.) HUMAN RIGHTS: H.R. 4965 - PARTIAL-BIRTH ABORTION BAN ACT OF 2002 (prohibits partial birth abortion except when the life of the mother is endangered --while exempting any mother whose child is killed in this fashion from prosecution) H.R. 2505 - HUMAN CLONING PROHIBITION ACT OF 2001 (bans human cloning) H.R. 476 - THE CHILD CUSTODY PROTECTION ACT (allows states to enforce their parental notification or parental consent laws regarding pregnant minors, by prohibiting the transportation of the minor across state lines in order to skirt these laws and abort the minor’s child; does not penalize the minors) GOOD GOVERNMENT: H.Con.Res. 353 - FISCAL YEAR 2003 BUDGET RESOLUTION (would be the first time since the Watergate polemics of 1974 that the Senate failed or refused to pass the annual Budget Resolution; passed by the House on 3/20/2002) H.R. 7 - COMMUNITY SOLUTIONS ACT OF 2001 (enhances incentives for charitable contributions, including greater credit to low-income non-itemizers, tightens enforcement against tax evasion, etc.; passage may be seen as opening the door for President Bush’s innovations in non-intrusive government cooperation with private charitable action.)
